Lemon-Dill Salmon Risotto

Making a good risotto requires your attention and dedication. Unlike other dishes, risotto should not be left until the very end. Here's a step-by-step guide to making a nourishing and creamy risotto with Lemon-Dill Salmon:

Ingredients

1 pack of Lemon-Dill Salmon (or more as needed) Chicken or fish stock (gel pack or homemade) 2 shallots, finely chopped Butter 1 cup of Arborio or Carnaroli rice White wine (175 ml) Fresh dill and chives Grated lemon zest Optional: More stock and a knob of butter

Steps to Make Rice Risotto with Lemon-Dill Salmon

Add one of those gel packs for chicken or fish stock to a pot and place it on a low flame to simmer. This will ensure that you have a steady supply of warm stock. Chop the shallots very finely and sauté them gently in butter until they are soft. Be sure not to let them take on any color. Add a heaped half cup of Arborio or Carnaroli rice and stir it around for a couple of minutes to coat the grains with butter. Slowly add a glass of white wine and let it bubble away until absorbed. Continue to add ladlefuls of hot stock, stirring continuously until each batch is absorbed before adding the next. You won't need all of the stock, but you can always cool and freeze it for future use. Your risotto is done when the rice is soft but still has a slight bite and no grittiness. At this point, gently mix in the Lemon-Dill Salmon. It will only need a couple more minutes to heat through. If the risotto looks a bit dry, add a touch more stock and a knob of butter to moisten it. Serve the risotto in warmed bowls, garnished with finely chopped fresh dill and chives, and a small amount of grated lemon zest. Enjoy your delicious and creamy Lemon-Dill Salmon Risotto!

Salmon Salad Sandwiches

Another delightful way to use your Lemon-Dill Salmon is to fill some tasty sandwiches. Simply add the Lemon-Dill Salmon to a fresh and crisp bread, perhaps with some mixed greens, pickles, and a spread of mayonnaise. This can be a quick and easy lunch that is packed with flavor and nutrients.

Salmon Patties

Satisfy your appetite for something more substantial by turning the Lemon-Dill Salmon into salmon patties. Start by mixing the frozen packs of Lemon-Dill Salmon with some breadcrumbs, grated onion, and a beaten egg to bind the mixture. Form the mixture into patties and cook them in a pan until golden brown on both sides. Serve these with a side of creamy avocado sauce and some steamed vegetables for a nutritious and balanced meal.

Yummy Green Salad with Lemon-Dill Salmon and Croutons

For a light and refreshing dish, consider adding your Lemon-Dill Salmon to a vibrant green salad. Start by cooking some bow tie pasta and draining it. Place the pasta in a bowl, add chopped cilantro and green onions, and then top it with a packet of Lemon-Dill Salmon. Drizzle a small amount of garlic oil over the top and toss the salad lightly with a fork. This simple yet flavorful salad is perfect for a summery picnic or a light meal on a warm day.
